Divorced To Steal His Heart 199. Reminiscing
What kind of a fool would buy that?Even I, despite my strong sense of self-control, can’t resist staring at Olivia whenever she’s in the room, talk more of Mike, whose emotions are always on display. “I’ve warned you not to mess with her,” I reminded him. “If it’s Olivia you want, fine, we can cancel the wedding-”“What are you saying, Buddy!” Mike exclaimed. “Come on! You know I couldn’t control it. I mean, a man has to be stupid not to notice such beauty. Can you cut me some slack? Can you tell your sister to trust me for once?” He pressed his palms together. “Time is running out, please. You can see how hard I’m trying to win her heart.”“What’s the point in telling me?” I grumbled, my mind still on the subtle smile on Olivia’s face before she walked out.It’s as if she was aware of the kind of effect she had on Mike. Probably, I as well, and she was reveling in it.Olivia is not that kind of woman. Strangely, I still cannot get rid of my jealousy. As Mike stood in front of me,
Divorced To Steal His Heart 198. Overreacting
“Stop it.” Tania blushed, nudging him. “I definitely I’m not the only beautiful girl in your eyes. You’re only bluffing.”“Says who, Babe? Right now, you’re the only woman I see. The rest of the women’s beauty can be combined, and you’ll still be more beautiful.”I frowned, wondering if they even considered my presence. “Can you both stop acting like kids? Put that away, Mike.”“Why, Big Bro? They’ll only stay for a while,” Tania whined. “As soon as Mom wakes up, we’ll put them away.”Does that make sense?What if she wakes up now and the sight of it aggravates her?“Besides, these types of flowers are expensive,” She pouted. “We can’t just discard them…”“Brother-in-law, she’s correct. How can you as my buddy want me to put the flowers away? What if it makes my woman unhappy?”I slapped my forehead. Tania should have stopped Mike when he hung this nonsense. I wonder if she was the same person traumatized yesterday when Mom almost died. Bantering with the two was a waste of time. I
Divorced To Steal His Heart 197. The Wedding Preparation
…Theo’s POV.Staying out of Olivia’s way was probably the best option, although what she and Grandpa did to me was unfair. She might not be holding a grudge against my family as I’d expected. Otherwise, why would she step in to save Mom’s life at that critical moment?Why didn’t she decline my order to treat Mom from now on. Sometimes, she behaves like the most heartless person, and sometimes, she is very confusing. As I leaned on my swivel chair, lost in my thoughts, Jake entered the office. “Good afternoon, Mr. Wellington. Here are the files you asked for.”He dropped some documents on my desk. Picking them up, I flipped through the pages. “Will this be enough? Have you spoken with all of them?”From the event decorators to the caterers and everything that concerned the wedding, the responsibility is on me to make sure everything is perfect. Mom would have been the one taking care of the wedding preparation, and Tania is too young to shoulder all those responsibilities.I defi
Divorced To Steal His Heart 196. Settling Down
Actually, keeping Dave here might be the best option. I can no longer trust him with any Nanny, and my workload has just increased after the promotion.“It’s nothing, Grandpa. I’m grateful that you’re taking good care of him,” I replied.“No need, My Dear.” Grandpa got up with the help of the Butler, yawning. “I will leave you guys alone. It turns out you were the source of his sadness. Now that you’re here, my great-grandson looks much better. But don’t stay up late, Olivia. Go to bed early so you won’t be late for work tomorrow.”I nodded and bid the old man goodnight.Even though I was sleepy, I suppressed my yawn. “How about I tuck you in, Baby?”“Are you gonna sleep here?” Dave asked, looking hopeful. “It’s too late anyways. And it’s dangerous out there.”“You’re right. I’m spending the night here.”His expression relaxed and he smiled.Being away from him must be difficult for him, the same way it is for me. If only there’s a way to end this without anyone getting hurt. If only
Divorced To Steal His Heart 195. Feeling Guilty
“It’s very late, Baby…” I replied. Besides, I’m exhausted, and driving back and forth to the Wellington Mansion would definitely wear me out. Also, I mustn’t be late for work tomorrow morning. “Mommy’s so sorry,” I added. “How about this? I’ll visit you on the weekend and will spend the whole day with you, doesn’t that sound great?”His soft sighs echoed from the other end. “Whatever you say, Mommy. Saving lives is important. You must be tired. You need to rest.”I nodded.“Well, guess what?” To lighten his mood, I decided to break the news. “We’ll be visiting Grandma soon and will spend some days with her. Great-grandpa said I can take you along.”“Great. I’ll be free from the pestering servants for once…” Dave replied. “Take care, Mommy. Good night.”After ending the call, I wasn’t as happy as I was supposed to be. My mood dampened, in fact, and a sense of guilt crept into my heart.It has been more than a week since we got separated, and I’ve not seen him face-to-face. If Dave m
Divorced To Steal His Heart 194. Landing Her In Trouble
For a few seconds, silence lingered after my speech.The employees looked at each other as if communicating with their eyes. And then most of them nodded before the place erupted in murmurs.They all spoke at once;“You spoke well, and you spoke the truth, Dr. Olivia. It’s useless to fight against the hospital management’s decision.”“Although we’re against favoritism, we’re not sure if the hospital management is corrupted or not.”“It’s true that this matter is none of our business and we should all focus on our jobs. Thank you for your kind speech and your willingness to not punish us despite hearing all the gossip.”“It’s not in our place to decide what’s right or wrong. We will work under you and obey your orders.”Some of the employees looked skeptical while a majority of them found my words sensible. At least, the rumors and gossip would stop from now on. At least all of them would focus on their work and not turn me into a celebrity in the hospital.After the meeting, I was on
